Embracing a Vegan and Ethical Future for the Hospitality Industry

As a pandemic aftermath, many travellers have shifted to being mindful of the environment and their consumption. This shift can be seen in the way they shop, eat and choose their place to stay. As it seems that this trend is here to stay it is crucial that the hospitality industry shift to more sustainable and ethical practices not just for show, but to actually make a difference.

The hospitality industry also needs to be mindful of sustainability; which is the mindful use of resources so that they can be used for a long period of time, as the success of each hotel depends on its ability to preserve the cultural and natural elements of tourist destinations. There have been examples across the globe of tourist places being shut down due to over tourism such as Maya Beach, due to which many hotels and tourism operators had to shut down their services.

It has been found that the younger generation is actually willing to pay more for products that do not harm the environment, as proven in a study conducted by Nielson. There are many ways in which the industry can reduce its carbon footprint to become more sustainable and ethical.

A switch to Organic Food Products and Ingredients

Switching to organic amenities will have 2 benefits, one is it will help reduce carbon footprint as transportation emissions can be reduced when switching to locally sourced organic products. It will also make sure that consumers will be able to consume healthy and often vegan food, which can serve as a marketing attraction to health-conscious travellers.

Reduction of Waste

Hotels can aim to reduce waste through many initiatives such as recycling programs, food donation, growing food on site, and the use of biodegradable products. Such initiatives will ensure that travellers remain mindful of their consumption and of course, help the environment.

Sources of Green Energy

There are now many renewable energy options for hotels to receive their energy from, such as solar, geothermal and even wind. Although these sources require a much larger initial investment, they are much better for the environment. The incorporation of green architecture elements in already existing buildings can serve as a way to provide support to the environment as well as give travellers a unique guest experience.

As more and more travellers are preferring sustainable travel options, the prominence given to sustainability will play a role in the growth of the hospitality industry. If acting now, hotels and resorts have the opportunity to grow as leaders in the cause of sustainability and contribute to the improvement of the environment.
